Homework 4:


Make Your Own Home Page - Part II

In this assignment, you will add more features to the home page you created for your last homework:

  1. Change the background - either change the background color or use a background image. Be careful - make sure that the text and links still show out clearly. You may want to change the color of the text or links.
  2. Add a picture - you can find some Brooklyn College images here. Make sure that the image files are in either .GIF or .JPG/.JPEG format. Do not use image files that end with .BMP or .ART - they will not show up on all browsers (even though they may work with AOL.)
  3. Add at least 3 links to other pages, with a description of why you chose those links.
  4. Make sure that your page includes both a title and a heading (and make sure that you understand the difference!)
  5. Your page should include one ordered list and one unordered list.

Use HTML to create your own home page. Note: You may not use FrontPage or Composer or any such program to create your page.
These links may help you out:

Optional: Some of you were interested in learning how to incorporate audio (or other multimedia files) into Web pages. If you are interested, you can look here for a discussion and some examples.
